19.10.2023 - 22:49 / screenrant.com
Reid Duke has been playing since he was five years old, and since then has gone on to become one of the most renowned players in the tournament scene. Since he began competing, he's racked up several accolades across a myriad of competitions, including being inducted to the Hall of Fame.

Throughout his years competing, Duke has won several Grand Prix tournaments, and gained his first Pro Tour win earlier this year. Outside the competitive scene, Duke has also begun producing content through TCGplayer and ChannelFireball intended to help players that are new to the game by teaching them key techniques. His «Foundations» series aims to dispel the reluctance some players might have about diving into the game by offering tips on building decks and explaining key competitive strategies.

sat down with Reid Duke at NYCC to discuss how he preps for competitions, advice for new players, and the everlasting appeal of .
Screen Rant: I would love to hear a little bit about how you first got into the game in the first place.
Reid Duke: So I learned Magic when I was five years old, it was 1995. And I had two cousins who played, and my mother saw my cousins playing, and they were like, «Oh, Reid and my brother Ian, they'll love this,» which was true. Back when I was that age, anything with knights and dragons and all that stuff would have been an instant hit for me. And then the reason Magic has kept my attention all these years is because it's such a deep game with so many different ways you can engage with it and so many ways to play, it never gets boring.
And what kind of prep goes into major events? Leading up to it, what are you doing?
Reid Duke: Well, it's really as much time and effort as you can put in. So one habit that I really like to do when we're able to is I'll meet some friends a few days in advance of the tournament, sometimes we'll get a rental house or something like that, and just kind of do a Magic boot camp where we're playing all the time, we're talking about strategy, we're trying to build the best deck that we possibly can.
But everyone's preparation process is going to be different, and usually involves lots and lots of playing, studying, which can mean reading articles, or watching videos, or looking at tournament results and whatever you can to have to come up with the best strategy you can.
And you touched on it a little bit in terms of what hooked you in the first place for the game. But I'm curious why even now you've stuck with and not ever sort of forayed too much
